If only cde Engels had had someone around to give him advice like that. Then
he wouldn't have bothered reading all that stuff by Duhring. That would have
saved him some effort, I'm sure.

It's funny, but my understanding of marxism involves reading literature 
produced by people I disagree with from time to time, and thinking about it.
